Misty Coast (NO) & Benz på Landet

<<< MISTY COAST >>>
Misty Coast is the dream pop child of Linn Frøkedal and Richard Myklebust (known from the Norwegian noise rock act The Megaphonic Thrift). September 2017 they released their critically acclaimed debut album, and was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy Awards. The Bergen based duo is now ready with their sophomore album, which the band themselves describe as their Berlin rebel album. All songs were written during a two months stay in Schoneberg, the winter of 2018, and you can almost smell the smoky beer joints and the ice‑cold exhaust. The songs revolve around strong guitar hooks, groovy, distorted bass lines and catchy, dreamy vocals. This is the rebellious little sister of Cocteau Twins and The Magnetic Fields!

While their debut album was based on minimalism and static, programmed drum beats, Kim Åge Furuhaug’s (Orion's Belte, Great News, Bloody Beach) wild and tasteful drumming is highly present in their latest recordings. As producer Matias Tellez (Young Dreams) describes it: "This album makes me want to go out and kick things!"

Misty Coast’s as‑yet‑unnamed album is to be released on Brilliance Records/Moorworks January 25, 2019.
